>AI much safer than humans in automobiles.
>The necessary AI programming to reach 99.99% safety requirement may be completed within 2-4 years, and is about 80% complete.
>Within 20 years, humans within 50 miles of urban centers could be banned from driving automobiles, with many cities already implementing partial bans in downtown areas. Special exemptions for law enforcement and EMS who may have use dynamic navigation in emergencies.
>standard Human Driving will become a hobby, restricted to private property, sporting events, and off-road.
>Will be able to apply for special 'human driver' license only if genuine economic reason to be driving a human-input vehicle.
>Revolution in transport.
>No stop signs. AI cars will manage speed and synchronize inter-woven traffic via network.
>No traffic lights. AI cars can inter-weave with tight margins without collision, up to 2000x better than a human driver can.
>No congestion. Almost no crashes, no unexpected delays. Networked speed smoothing.
>1 hour commute in 2015 will take 35 minutes in 2035, if all cars in area are networked and AI controlled.
>2 'human' lanes can support 4 'AI' lanes. Why create wider roads when the AI can move closer together without collision?
>Redefining driving. No need for a safe reactionary distance between you and the car ahead. AI controlled cars can move within inches of each other even at high speeds, with 'slow' and 'stop' commands issued simultaneously over network.
>Economic boost due to 35,000 less people killed per year.
>Less healthcare cost due to 650,000 less people seriously hurt in auto accidents per year.
>Car shape to be re-designed to facilitate dynamic creation of 'road trains'. AI cars can link to one another in the same way trains can, except, dynamically. This will boost fuel efficiency especially over long drives.
>Have conversations with the people around you, even in other cars, without having to focus on safety and driving.
>Study, eat breakfast, manage your finances, all while commuting from the comfort of your own car.
Ahh yes. good goyims, we wouldn't want you to have this hobby or activity! it's too dangerous! instead, you can be more efficient at making your boss more money! or paying us your precious tax dollars! don't forget that you can clock into your job on the way in to work and begin your day on your commute too!

>>if you don't see the downside to this, you're already too far down the capitalist-consumerist drain
what does that have to do with the government and big businesses violating my property rights with respect to driving my car again?
My guess is that long before there are enough self-driving cars on the road for a manual driving ban to be practical, insurance costs will start forcing people into self-driving vehicles. Eventually, operating a manually-driven car on public roads just won't be financially feasible for a normal person.
>>15364475
Would it be cheaper in the long run just to build trams and trains again?

A lot of people can afford to have one car that's a little fun, which they can use for practical purposes as well as recreation. Not as many people can afford a dedicated "hobby" car and all the gear needed to haul it out to the track or whatever.

It's worth pointing out that if automated cars ever become mandatory, prices for regular cars will plummet. It would be a shit ton cheaper to a hobby car after something like this happens.
>>15364475
Computer says emergency vehicle inbound, your car and every other car moves to the side, emergency vehicle flies past at 100mph, your vehicle continues on its journey. Response times cut by 70%. Certain folks dissuaded from following their base instincts.

This is an upside, but how expensive will it be to go to a track, and how accessible will it be?
>>15364701
Bait isn't "shutting down" an argument. Someone fucking died in a self-driving car and you're going to deny it?
And what nobody considers with the statistics Tesla offers to quell the people is that these automated cars are ridden in well-off areas and not the 3rd world or even just the bad part of town.
If they actually had them all over you would see their success rate plummet. The current price is the barrier to that.

I highly doubt this would happen any time soon, I mean americlaps get slaughtered by the thousands by guns every year and they still don't ban guns, you really think they would pass a law to ban human driver because of safety? Not to mention from what I understand driving and road trips are an american tradition. Germany or Japan I could see this happening, especially somewhere like Tokyo where something like 4 million people take the subway every day, but not in America.

So no, we aren't going to see human drivers banned or phased out any time soon.

The difference is that firearm enthusiasts have time and time again stopped any logical regulation (ie mandatory training and tracking who owns what just like we have with cars) whereas this is still possible to save if we're not retards.
>>15366914
>logical regulation
And the retard brigade has already shown up. Which European shithole are you from? Aussie? Spit it out.
Automating cars is the auto industry's last chance to keep keep rail transit away.
Though even this will fail. As private car transportation is not volume efficient. Roads have a maximum capacity. That can not match rail.
>>15366923

Roads do have a maximum theoretical capacity, but it's not economically feasible to run rail in less populated areas and massed goods still need to be moved between populated and unpopulated areas.
Cars and trucks could still have individual engines but link together to become a continuous line sharing aerodynamic benefits, and there could be larger 'rent-an-engine' vehicles which would be continuously travelling the highways pushing around engine-off linked cars and trucks for a smaller fuel fee than running your own engine.
You could have most of the benefits of rail (efficiency from having a single power source and aerodynamics of an unbroken line) while retaining the individuality and free travel of cars.
>>15364991
VR is a good example
We need to find an alternate source of energy for our vehicles before we can even think about having self driving cars. I agree that hybrids and EVs are gay right now, but the technology is still relatively young.

And in all this i ask
What will they do with us centaurs?
They already nave difficulties catching us with v8, human driven cars, how do they plan enforcing this shit?
What the fuck is the point of owning a car if it's just gonna be some cog in a massive dystopian digital hivemind? Can't they just put this tech into public transit systems, that's where we need it. There are constant derailments and delays on the subways here because of operator fuckups and busses never seem to know what they're doing. If you don't want people driving make public transit better (and possibly cheaper, you're not paying conductors).
Just a reminder.
it's not gonna happen. people like driving, car companies like advertising freedom.
but self driving cars will probably save a lot of lives in the long run
as to why would you want that option? sometimes you want to be able to go out and drink and not have to take a taxi home or risk getting a dwi. sometimes driving 15 hours in a setting isn't fun for the entire 15 hours. sometimes you are driving with your family and they are fighting too much that it's hard to concentrate on the road.
technology is a neutral force that has the potential to make life better or worse. it's not a great evil nor is it a giant conspiracy nor is it a utopia.
>>15370434
Plus it'd be cheaper in the longer run to build out mass transit anyway.
>>15364475
But anon, self driving cars are the Future ! Ask /r/Futurology, the Future is inevitable, you can't stop it ! So embrace the Singularity and our disruptively innovative God Emperors Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Mark Zuckerberg, and accept the disappearance of such luddite concepts as being able to drive, elf-reliance,privacy, political systems that aren't feudalism, labor rights, job security, not being homeless and the biosphere !

there is no such thing as an "assault rifle". All weapons are designed to "assault". You can easily kill several people with a screwdriver, should long screwdrivers be labeled assault screwdrivers?
Please stop inserting your dumb opinions into literally anything. Orlando guy could have easily blocked the doors of the club and firebombed it with nothing but stuff he bought at Wal-Mart and the gas station. That would have killed far more people far more terribly than any gun, and no amount of pointless legislation you pass can stop it.
There are violent people in this world. Welcome to adulthood.

>>15364535
>on /o/
>doesn't enjoy driving
Did you get lost?
Never going to happen.
Mercedes is putting automated driving through its paces, they've repeatedly found one issue with the focus groups : Nobody wants it.
Nobody enjoys having control removed from them. Some things here and there, sure, stuff that's more of a nuisance. But buying something that removes control? No, people won't want to buy that.
And until people do start wanting to buy something that removes control from them, there won't be enough of them on the road to permit such restrictions on human operated cars.

It's in the works for Adelaide and Melbourne. Google have had a lot of success testing their Lexus SUV's in South Australia.
I wouldn't be surprised if Melbourne Council or Victoria in general were the first to create segmented roads, they seem to be leading the rest of the country in terms of cuck laws, lack of freedom, and rampant leftism. I suspect as soon as the technology becomes viable the Victorian Government will start working on creating area where only automated vehicles are allowed.

>>15368654
Musk is planning to, evidently.
If they take away my ability to drive I might literally kill myself
>My car is the only thing I care about
>Hooning is the only thing I like to do
Idk maybe I should just buy a baiku
>>15380536
That's the thing. In the future, you won't _buy_ your car. You'll pay a monthly fee to use an automated pod transport service, with everything covered. No more need to fill it up yourself, no more need to take it to the shop yourself, no more need to do anything.
Just press a button on your phone and the nearest empty pod will come pick you up at your home, and drop you off at your desired destination.
>>15380536
This.
It's the smartwatch of the transportation industry. I could see it having limited potential is some applications but i don't think it will become standard or required for another 100 years.
Have fun applying the law here on the balkan you rich jew
>>15388254
this. I'll enjoy my shitbox golf 2 forever more
>>15388241
Just kill me when that happens. That's no better than riding a city bus covered with greasy nigger residue and germs.
>>15388241
Who is going to be the politician that takes away the car? I can't imagine that happening. And I certainly can't imagine it happening everywhere.
And for trips to the country sides, where the pods don't go, there will always be this Lexus.
>The year is 2020
>Your daugher has been stabbed/shot/coughing blood
>You dash to your car to rush her to the hospital
>You get in your self driven MiEV, that drives according to the rules never passing the 50km/h mark, never overtaking always stopping at stop signs,waiting for collisions to be cleared before proceeding,letting every pedestrian cross to be correct to them.
>You rage and rage, but the car won't obey your orders to go faster and to actually move
>Your daughter manages her last breath
>"Why the fuck you sold your Miata?"

Meanwhile Im driving in my 1997 Civic Type R and laughing at Elon Musk.

Why would insurance rates go up?
Driving doesn't become more dangerous because some people start using self-driving cars.
>>15388322
Because the computer-driven cars aren't the danger. YOU are the danger if you're driving the car yourself, or at least that's how insurance companies will see it.
If they do ban human driving, why don't you just hoon anyway, what are they gonna do take your license?
>>15388353
Every autopod will have cameras on board, so if you pass even a single one they'll have evidence of your hooning, which would be enough to track you down and crush your car.
Basically you'd have to find a completely deserted road or other place to hoon.
>>15388329
So what? Insurance companies determine their rates after the likeliness of something going wrong and the associated damage.
I could see people with self-driving cars getting lower rates, or even won't require insurance, because the company will be liable for damages.
But I don't see insurance rates for everyone else going up, because the risk of crashing will not increase, and the damage during a crash will not increase any more than whatever the inflation is.
I admit, I don't really have any idea how any of this works, but it doesn't seem like you do, either.
Soon "why do you want to shift your own gears lol? There is no logical reason to do this" Will turn into "you drive yourself? What a faggot"

cant outrun radio ese
>>15388393
a radio cant pull you over and arrest you
also anyone coulda been driving
also there are limitations on how long they have after the fact
So whag are police departmemts going to do to make money if all of their traffic violation income dries up?
Think of all the jobs that will be lost. All dmv workers gone, all truckers, taxis, uber, etc etc
Unions and lobbyists will fight this for years.
>>15364479
Sounds nice but at this point why have so many vehicles at all? Just make a big train system or something
>>15364486
> drives a car that is only possible due to capitalism
ok bro
>>15388329
It wouldn't increase the chance of danger though, so I don't think rates would go up.
>>15364644
california isn't a flyover state and it has a ton of nice roads to drive
you're literally retarded
>>15364701
that is the shittiest fucking bait ever
anybody who's seen the inside of a commercial code base would never post anything like this

He's a hopeless memester, ignore him.

Kill yourself for real.
can't wait to see you cagers neatly contained

'sup, donor. Keep wearing a helmet to make it easier for the workers to scoop you up.
>>15388625
It's not about increased danger, dumbass.
I hope you don't drive.
Yay more laws, more bans, less freedom
>>15364475
Is Elon Musk the perfect Bond villian?
>>15389320
Just you wait, the liberals will come for you one day.
>>15364644
yeah I'm 100% positive you're down syndrome as fuck, assuming that only flyover states have nice roads or people who like to drive in them. You're probably nestled so deep into your parents basement that you've never been to fucking California or New York or any state with a fucking highway. Not to mention you haven't seen the sun or a piece of asphalt or a fucking blade of grass with exception to your sorry computer wallpaper that if you saw these things you'd seize up like a fucking heroin overdose. Either that or you're just a pathetic teenager who's parents took your Toyota camery away for having a Bernie sticker on it and they aren't dumb enough to let the neighbors see you driving around in your heap of shit with wheels.

>AI controlled cars can move within inches of each other even at high speeds, with 'slow' and 'stop' commands issued simultaneously over network.
Yes, because every car is maintained properly. How many cars do you think are driving around right now with bald tyres and bare-metal breaks?
>>15391991
I'd say so, he even looks the part.
>40 years from now
